Birketts acted for the shareholders of Howard Global Holdings Limited, providing corporate, property, tax and employment advice.
David Howard, CEO of Howard Global commented: “Birketts’ corporate team has a detailed clear understanding of the legal challenges and implications of operating in the insurance sector. They have been invaluable in their advice and commercial experience in helping us to realise our long term ambitions.”
Nick Burnett, who led the Birketts team on the transaction, said: “This deal required a thorough understanding of our clients' business and their priorities, as well as the need for experience in the insurance sector.”
“The work was primarily carried out by the Chelmsford team, particularly Richard Pooley and Heidi Jones on the corporate side, with further involvement from Clare Barlow in employment, Karl Pocock in the corporate tax team and Matt Grindley in property.”
The deal will allow Howard Global Insurance Services to maintain their position as the leading bloodstock broker, while continuing to expand its book of accident and health, life and other related products.
